Abbreviation: CNV, copy number variant.
The number of sires, dams, male and female offspring tested in each experimental group by either array and/or Sequenom is shown (n) together with the number of those animals affected by an aberration. In addition, the total number and proportion of all animals (%) affected and the number of de novo calls for each CNV and each experimental group is detailed.
